winchester, 77. still hanging onto the 80's in the beltway, lexington park. temperatures are only in the 60's for detroit to my pittsburgh, and syracuse. new york city at 80 degrees. this cooler air is what is the leading edge of a damaging whether they had across the northeast earlier today. the temperature change is quite significant. 20 degrees cooler compared yesterday at this time. that front will lift off to the north and east. for us, our conditions will improve. temperatures will fall into the 50's overnight and a cool start to our day tomorrow with temperatures only around 80 degrees. that is about eight degrees below average for what we normally see on this date. showers just off to the north and west of us. right now, looking at some light shower activity, but these generally have a north easterly move to them. it's not going to impact us in d.c.. cold front that continues to move off the coast. this model keeps extra clouds in the forecast, but i don't see that through the day tomorrow. a good deal of sunshine with temperatures around 80 degrees.

we're just now popping with 568 for winchester.his will be pretty much the overnight lows and things will really heat up into the afternoon. overall the hour-by-hour forecast is giving us a bit of a break this morning. dry conditions for 6:00 a.m. by noontime scattered showers again, mainly west of town. not everyone is going to see a shower late today. dry commute home by 6:00. 7:00. yes, overnight tonight the clouds really sock us in. early tomorrow morning will be dry but by tomorrow afternoon, another round of showers and thunderstorms start to creep on through and all of this is ahead of a frontal system. this is really going to adjust things as we get into the middle ever the week. highs for today 86 for reagan national. we should see about 86 out toward leesburg and down toward fredricksburg as well. tomorrow morning mild and muggy. the overcast skies are going to keep temperatures fairly uniform into the early morning hours. by tomorrow afternoon, we're warming it up even more heading for highs pushing the upper 80s and, ye

73 in frederick, 73 in edgewater, 73 leesburg and manassas is at 70. 70 degrees front royal and winchester, 72 in comeberland, so it's a pleasant afternoon. we'll see more warming from here. 78 degrees next hour. 83 our high today an back down into the upper 70s by mid-evening time. outdoor dinner plans, perfect night to sit outside in the backyard and have a little hot dog or hamburger out on the grill. maybe a chicken breast a little healthier for you. these lonesome showers up here across parts of central ohio, these are going to be drifting mainly north of the mason-dixon line, but i couldn't rule out a quick little shower in far northern maryland in the mountains of west virginia. highs today once again generally up into the upper 70s and low 80s. it will be another chilly night tonight, not as cold as last night. you'll probably be three, four, five degrees warmer tomorrow morning than you were this morning but that still means plenty of chill in the air. low 50s in the shenandoah valley, low 60s once again right here in the metro area. here's a little bit of a rain chance. by 6:00 t

temperatures generally holding in the middle to lower 70's. 72 winchester. 74 hagerstown. 72 in gaithersburg. 72 in frederick, maryland. looking for the hot weather. the humidity. well to the west of us. kansas city at 83. minneapolis at 38. hotter air will move towards the east as you move through the next couple of days. the hottest day will come on wednesday. high ns the lower 90's. a cold front will follow behind. all the nasty weather well to the south of us across the carolinas. for us, we remaynard webbly dry. a few scattered showers earlier this evening. the showers quickly fizzling out and won't add up to a whole lot and we'll become dry tomorrow morning. this is cold front that impacts our weather by thursday. then better chance for showers and thunderstorms. overnight 67-73. mostly cloudy skies. the day tomorrow calls for highs around 85-90. we will see a mix of sun and clouds. just a chance for a few afternoon showers and thunderstorms. less than a 20% risk. increases as you move into tuesday, wednesday and thursday, friday, the nicest day of the week. less humidity. warm tempera

to the west cooler, 77 in winchester and dulles at 79.here you see the cooler air in nashville in the middle 60's and that's because they're dealing with rain at this hour. high pressure overhead will slowly move toward the east and winds will change direction and that will warm up us later this weekend. by next week we're talking temperatures in the upper 80's to around 90 degrees and a chance of more thunderstorms. most of the moisture to the south and west will remain away from the d.c. area thanks to a large dome of high pressure that will suppress everything to the south. we will keep cloudy skies in the forecast later on tonight and into the day tomorrow. but the rain, a few showers may pop up west of d.c. around the mountains and we're going to look for pretty much the same situation during the day on sunday. this is our futurecast. one model to help us forecast the weather in terms of cloud cover and rainfall. this wants to bring a few more showers a little bit closer to d.c. but once again i think most of it will be west of us an

quantico at 83, winchester 82.as we widen the view, the cooler, drier air to the north, the upper peninsula of michigan, 71 degrees. tuesday could be looking at highest only in the upper 40's, lower 50's, well to the north. the satellite radar, high pressure will bring comfortable conditions overnight. a bright full moon later tonight. tomorrow, a good deal of sunshine, a chance of a passing shower, less than 20% chance. outside right now, the temperatures -- the cloud cover beginning to dissipate as we move through the evening. the futurecast looks like this, as we move through the overnight into the day tomorrow come a good deal of sunshine, daytime highs eventually into the middle to upper 80's. a beautiful day sunday, the wind changing direction out of the south and west. the humidity will increase, daytime highs approaching 90 degrees. if that is not hot enough, monday we are talking about 95. a cold front off to the west will bring us the strong and severe thunderstorms late monday and into tuesday. scatred c

but it's been hanging north of winchester. no lightning and one downpour getting ready to cross the line into southern sections of jefferson county. everything drifting towards potomac harpers ferry and areas close to washington county. 89 the high at reagan national. 88 is the average. the record high in the state back in 1954, 103 degrees. temperatures will stay at average. 85 in frederick. 86 in fredericksburg. the dew point temperatures help calculate relative humidity and provide agoid of comfort in -- a guide of comfort in warm days. still very comfortable. 50's and lower 60's. but the farther south more moisture laden air is detected and that's going to be pushed in our direction. temperatures comfortable over the east coast. to the west you find higher humidity, but there are no extreme temperatures in the eastern two-thirds of the country. we don't expect that at all. we expect the trend to be average or below average for some time to come. a few showers here and there tonight, but it will be at the end of this fronta
